Holograms from rotary buffer

My truck was detailed prior to purchase, and they tore it up pretty good with a buffer. I have a Porter Cable DA, what pad/product would I need to reverse some of this damage?

Hard to say for sure. Might try something like polishing or light cutting pad with Menzerna PO106FF.

DITTO I'd start with a light cutting pad and Menzerna. Just work one spot and check your progress. You might have to move up to a more aggressive product

mine looked pretty bad. I used an orange pad and some turtle wax polishing compound and it took the 3D **** out. Probably could find better polish though.

when i dint know better i took my car to a "detail shop" you could see all the circle lines of the rotary.. i fixed it with orange pad and menzerna super intensive polish works fast and you dont get too much residue.

I've used an orange pad and Menzerna Intensive Polish with good success in the past. I've not tried anything else other than Poor Boys stuff, which also worked well (it was their 2.5 SSR or something along those lines).
